may be formed from the fact thatit often leaves
Pittsburg two hours and one half after the
Western express does and then overtakes the

times hauls seeping coach which reaches
Pittsburg from the East too late to make

than the Englishman. Sometimes the Englishman
takes it into his head to large hat but the fit

The difference is founded upon popularity,
instructive historical preference. The List

The Rate Question in Illinois.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Sept 2-Aeter discussing
the matter of reducing the State freight rates to
the interstate rate now in force with the
Board of Railroad and Warehouse Commission
ers the railroad represen tatives and the ship
pers and manufacturers present held secret
meeting together last night and again this
morning. till about 11:30 o'clock, when they
made the following report:
'After full discussion of the matters pend
Ing before the commission. at the request of all
the representatives of the railroads, the repre-
sentatives of the shippers concurring therein, it
was resolved that the commissioners be asked to
postpone the further consideration Of the com
plant for thirty days that IT, or she end of that
time. the railroads shall put in force which
shall have removed the cause of complaint, the
complaint shall, with the consent of the CON-
missioners, be dismissed otherwise it shall be
submitted for further hearing and such action
as TO the commission shall seem lawful and
just"
General McNulta further stated that COM
mittee OF railroad men had been apponted to
meet ana confer with a committee Of the ship
pers ana canvass the matter and to adopt such
satisfactory rates may be determined mon
and that II at the end OF thirty DAYS this com
mittee is successful, they will SO report TO the
board, and II not, report will be made and the
commission can take such action as thew deem
the case requires. The railroads appear to re-
cognze the probability that should the ,nattar
be left to the commission a red uction would GER
tainly be made. By taking this cour,e thay
have everything TO gain and nothing to lose
since they can. and no donbt will make some
reduction in the State rates. while by this
course higher rate will be saved to them than
might be fixed by the commission in case of a
change in their tariff
The board met again at 230 in the afternoon

TRAFFIC IN CHILDREN.

The Public Startled by New Revelations
The Offenders To Be Prosecuted.
LONDON June 7.-Since the revelations made
by the Pail Mall Gazette and the passage of the
criminal law amendment bill. the public have
believed that traffic in children was impossible.
and the case in Lambeth Police Court therefore
caused a universal sensation of horror. Ed
ward Procknell and three women were arrested,
charged with keeping houses of ill-repute and
having procured for their patrons scores of girls
ten to fourteen years of age. The prisoners and
their victims were all of humble rank, and the
evidence so far proves that the seducers of the
girls belong to the same class. The government
will prosecute the prisoners, all of whom were
remanded. Detective Stevens, in the employ of
the Reformatory and Refuge Union. who has
taken the principal part in bringing to light
these crimes, states that during the past four
years he has rescued four hundred girls between
the ages Of four and half and fourteen years
from lives of crime.
